For 4000, you could buy a GL2, or a PV-DV852 with lots of extras. In fact, the PV-DV852 is down on price right now. Contact Peter perhaps at http://www.leoscamera.com in Vancouver. His e-mail is: peter@leoscamera.com

A new VX2000 for $4000 Canadian? There's also the 14.5% tax, perhaps shipping cost too.

If I lived in Barrie, I'd go to Kozlov Centre straight away, and pop into the famous, EFADS' 'Everything For A Dollar Store.' Now there's a place to shop yet keep the jingle in your pants. "See how much you can buy for a dollar."

A few of the big camera stores dropped their list to 4200 C$, That means the places like G&G in Toronto or other discount dealers may come in below $4000. If the camera is shipped in from out of province only the GST is charged.

It's worth a try at any rate. When the list was $5000 , a Sony dealer in calgary was flogging them for $4200 Can. That was Bobby Cross's buddy.

One time when I caught a VIA, from the Peg to Van, the train froze in Calgary for 3 days. It was -42C, yes, for 3 days! So VIA put us up in an inn, a nice one I might add, and on the 3rd day, got us a bus to the airport (the big one), and flew the the ones headed to Van no charge. The rest got bused to their destinations. On the 4th day, I watched the news and found out that Calgary warmed up to +12! Crazy weather in Calgary, I tell you.

So you guys recommend the VX2000 what about canons cameras or other Sony models. I could put some more money into camera I just need something good before my brothers wedding (July19) . Iím going to be using the camera for weddings and other random stuff, maybe even broadcast stuff? So the question is to buy a VX2000 or save up for something even better?
